Sugar futures are affected by changes in demand for sugar and sugar supply, making it an attractive commodity for investors who are bullish on sugar consumption or bearish on sugar production. As with other commodities, sugar prices are not simply affected by changes in physical supply and demand. Speculators can play a big role in price movements. In addition, prices are often influenced by factors such as climate changes, and changes in nutritional habits. As a result, these funds are only appropriate for more aggressive investors.
